Wrap-up and application
Psychology: Adulthood and Aging Author Marion G. Mason
1. Share some of the questions you are planning on asking your interviewees to help others who may be struggling with them. You may want to briefly explain why you are asking those particular questions.
2. Share with the class at least two interesting findings from your interview paper.
Also, since this is the last week, I would like you to reflect on what you have learned over the semester and talk about what you feel were the most important things you learned. How do you think the information you learned in the class could be applied to your personal, academic, and professional lives?
